s3cmd settings
To optimize s3cmd for your Internet connection, you can set the size of packets sent.
To do this, simply use the following option:
`
--multipart-chunk-size-mb=5000
`
The default value is 15, but you can go as low as 5 (slow upload rate) or as high as 5000 (ultra-fast upload rate).
We recommend testing different settings to suit your needs.
Using s3cmd

- List buckets
s3cmd ls - List bucket contents
